Rainbow Gardens

I visited last Saturday, and noticed that a bunch of non-native plants were labeled as being "Texas" plants, even invasive plants like the English ivy shown below. If it's not native to Texas, it shouldn't have Texas on the label!

Rainbow Gardens is normally my go-to for Texas natives, but this season, I found myself having to check my phone multiple times to make sure I wasn't missing something, and I'm pretty knowledgeable about what grows around here. What's worse is that there are people who only know they should be buying Texas natives, but they don't know what they are looking for, and they end up trusting the signage and buying invasive species.

I understand that native plants are difficult to source, but at least reserve the native labelling for them. Almost 20 years ago, I filled my first yard with plants I thought were native, and then later found out that almost everything I had selected was invasive, and they had been labeled incorrectly. We should know better by now. Please do better, Rainbow Gardens, or I'm going to have to drive all the way to the Nectar Bar (which is awesome, but way on the other side of town).

Always come her with my mom to get stuff for our backyard and loves it! We basically can find everything here we need. Only the price is higher than other local place if you can but with wider variety.

Pretty good nursery with tons of different plants, fruit trees and such. They have a little space for insects to pollinize and they show/sell you everything you need to set your space at home. My toddler loved the view with all the bugs. Definitely the place to go when you need something for your garden.
